Fluid forum view allows members only to get right to the meat of this community; the topics. You can toggle between your preferred forum view just below to the left on the main forum entrance. You will see three icons. Try them out and see what you prefer.
Fluid view allows you, if you are a signed up member, to see the newest topic posts in either all forums (select none or all) or in just your favorite forums (select the ones you want to see when you come to Fishing Minnesota). It keeps and in real time with respect to Topic posts and lets YOU SELECT YOUR FAVORITE FORUMS. It can make things fun and easy. This is especially true for less experienced visitors raised on social media. If you, as a members want more specific topics, you can even select a single forum to view.
Let us take a look at fluid view in action. We will then break it down and explain how it works in more detail.
The video shows the topic list and the forum filter box. As you can see, it is easy to change the topic list by changing the selected forums. This view replaces the traditional list of categories and forums.
Of course, members only can change the view to better suit your way of browsing.
You will notice a “grid” option. We have moved the grid forum theme setting into the main forum settings. This makes it an option for members only to choose.
This screenshot also shows the removal of the forum breadcrumb in fluid view mode. Fluid view remembers your last forum selection so you don’t lose your place when you go back to the listing.
The benefit of this feature is easy to see. It removes a potential barrier of entry for members only. It puts the spotlight on topics themselves, and not the hierarchical forum structure. You as a member will enjoy viewing many forums at once and switching between them without leaving the page.
We hope that fluid view, the new functionality is an asset that you enjoy .

A causal friend of mine offered to sell me one of his shotguns - supposedly he needs the money for the holidays. When I asked him if he bought it new, he said that he bought it from a friend a few years ago.

How do I check to make sure that gun is not hot/stolen? Is there a HSOforum where I could enter the serial number to check?

As long as I'm on the subject, what kind of paperwork should a person have for his guns? Most of my guns were bought years ago, and I don't have any 'proof of ownership'. Even the new 1100 that I bought from a gunshop about 10 years ago, I don't have any paperwork on it, unless I tossed it. What should a person do when they sell (or buy) a gun?

Get the serial number off of it and go to the Court House or the Police Dept. Buddy of mine just had a rifle stolen out of his truck opening weekend and the police have a national database. If that is not an option call the Sheriff's Dept and they should help you out or know where to send you.

We did this on a weapon a few years back and was able to locate the owner in Seattle from whom the weapon was stolen 25 years ago.

In regards to your weapons at home keep a record of the serial numbers, make, model, any modifications, scope, make, model, and keep updated photographs. If something would happen to them submit it to your homeowners inusrance or buy separate firearms insurance.

Lets not jump to conclusions here, I have no idea what the status of this gun is. I just don't want to put out my hard earned cash for a gun that may have to be turned in, and I don't want to reward anyone's illegal behavior.

You have brought up some ramification that I hadn't thought of, I'll probably make HIM prove its not stolen by making the call. I'd rather pay more for a gun at a gunshop than buy an unproven gun, and by making HIM make the call, I don't get put in the position of ratting him out. Nothing worse than a rat.

It is a felony to receive, possesse, transfer, buy or conceal any stolen firearm. It is no insult to anyone to ask for the information so you can make a check to assure that it isn't stolen.

Some firearm dealers will process a private transfer for $20-30. That will pretty much require that things be on the up and up. That's a cheap price to pay.

A friend bought a gun from a guy a while back. The friend then lent it to his son-in-law who got stopped for a traffic violation in Iowa. Long story short the son-in-law got arrested and thrown in jail. My friend had to go down there and do a lot of explaining to get the kid out. Needless to say the gun was confiscated.

Who said anything about the serial numbers being gone????!!! Where did that come from??

I told the guy to call the local cops and prove to me that its not hot, and bring me written proof.

In the meantime, I went to a local gun shop and looked at new guns and used guns, trying to get a handle on prices. One of the new Brownings caught my eye, this whole discussion may be mute because I think thats what I'm going to end up buying.

Anyone using ceramic cookware?
We got rid of our Teflon stuff years ago and have been using stainless steel for quite a while. We still seem to have a hard time with certain things sticking in the SS if you are not super careful. My wife picked up the ceramic pan pictured below a couple months ago and we have been using it a lot.
Anyone using ceramic? Anyone ever heard of this brand? It seams cheap to me, looks like I can buy an entire set of it for about $80.00. Any downfalls to ceramic cookware?

I found two of these hiding in the rear of my rod rack...
Lettering on the blank says...
"GR28-7', Medium, 4-10#, IM6 Graphite, Jigging/Rigging"
The cork is a bit faded but overall these look almost new.
Asking $150.00 OBO for the pair.
I'd like to do a face to face sale in or close to Carver County or Eden Prairie. However, shipping is available. I'd need to get you a price quote.
